Re: British goods
Yes, we started our married life with mismatched furniture - much of it second hand or gifted to us, a carpet square bought at a fire damaged sale(it smelled of smoke for ages).....an antique gas cooker and a very basic washing machine, complete with a mangle(yes it was electrically operated, but a mangle nevertheless).
This was so that we didn't go into debt. This would never do for many of the newly weds of today.
